Investigation 10/25 Make-up: Podcasts

Over the past few years, podcasts have grown to become one of the most popular forms on media on the internet. With the simplistic idea of people just talking, podcasts are easy to be enjoyed by anyone. While podcasts typically rely on just audio, some podcasts incorporate video to aid with it's presentation. As someone who is interested in film and video I decided to look more into video podcasts and what goes into making them.

Popular Video Podcasts

Out of all the video podcasts that I have seen, the most popular would have to be The Joe Rogan Experience. The Joe Rogan Experience hosted by Joe Rogan is the perfect example of a standard video podcast. Each episode involves Rogan simply talking with his guest about whatever they feel like for a couple of hours uncut. The video element of The Joe Rogan Experience does not add nor subtract from the podcast overall as it only shows the raw footage of Rogan and his guest speaking. The appeal of The Joe Rogan Experience primarily lies within the idea of listening to solid, well constructed conversation between notable figures for longer than you would normally get on a broadcast talk show.

The other popular video podcast that I enjoy watching and appreciate the different style of is Cold Ones. Cold Ones is an Australian video podcast cohosted by YouTubers Max Stanley (maxmoefoe) and Chad Roberts (anything4views). The show involves the two hosts interviewing their guests in a typical podcast format, however, Cold Ones differentiates itself by having it's hosts and guests consume alcohol as its gimmick. This creates very interesting scenarios between the hosts and the guests as they adjust to the influence of their drinks. While Cold Ones originally followed a similar format to The Joe Rogan Experience with uncut interviews, it has recently transitioned to having shorter episodes with cuts between large conversations and having more visual elements for context as to what is being talked about. Cold Ones is a podcast for more mature audiences, but is definitely enjoyable to watch in its own special kind of way. (Image Taken From)

How To Make A Video Podcast

Podcasts are known for their simple barrier of entry, only requiring a microphone to record audio. Video podcasts like The Joe Rogan Experience make use of more equipment to have greater production value. Typically, video podcasts have at least one wide camera angle that shows both the host and guest. Close-ups on the host and guest are also commonly used and are cut to while speaking. In most cases, each person is given their own personal microphone to speak into in order to record their audio track for the final recording. Lastly, since the audience is able to watch as the host and guest speak, most video podcasts incorporate some kind of detailed set in order to make the show visually appealing. If you wanted to create your own video podcast, focus primarily on your audio. In the end, you are still making a podcast which is a auditory medium. Once you have a good sounding podcast, you can then move forward with visually making your podcast appealing.

Critique Reflection

(Submitted on 11/8/18 since I was sick) For our recreation of the scene from High School Musical, I felt that our process of recreating what was present in the actual scene was one of the better things we did for our project. When comparing our scene to the original, I feel that our shots were lined up very closely to what was originally present. As for what I feel I need to improve on, the main thing would be preparation. There were many points that we should've been more prepared which can be seen in the final film. Since we weren't prepared, some of our shots weren't close to what was seen in the original and some audio issues were present that could've been avoided if we had taken time to prepare before shooting. My strengths for this assignment would probably be my knowledge of the scene and trying to plan by day for what we needed to do. The weakness that I had was not being able manage my group as well as I felt I could. This prevented us from getting work d

End of MP 1 Blog Post

After now reaching the end of the first marking period of the 2019-2020 school year, I am able to reflect back upon the work that I have completed so far. Intention Definition & Exploration Of Ideas Having no prior experience in any particular area of film, I set out to choose a topic to focus on that would allow me to help narrow down my focus. The area I chose to focus on was documentary and mockumentary styled film making. I made this choice with the intention to be able to explore both formal and less formal ideas while also not relying on having to create an entire original idea by myself. The topic of my film (The Game) was chosen because of my familiarity and pre-existing personal opinions about it. Planning Planning an entire production entirely by myself was a change of pace in comparison to how I worked in previous years. I began the planning process by typing out all of my thoughts in order to help establish what I am trying to do. Once I developed an idea for th
